In an effort to increase our production and to put us on the map as one of the best in the world at creating high-end, realistic and fun aircraft for simmers, we at Milviz are actively seeking coders to do development work on aircraft gauges (HUD's, MFD's, and 3-D gauges), aircraft systems and FDEs for general aviation & military aircraft. We are open to taking multiple people on board who have special talents in certain areas. So if you are really good at just gauges, or really good at flight files feel free to apply as well. While at the moment the pace would be pretty fast (we have a number of projects in the queue waiting on coding) we remain flexible in terms of …

Hello,Could someone please direct me to a thread that discussed how to add click spots on any panel, or a web site that explains how to do this.

I apologize if this has been brought up before, but my firewall is blocking the FSC forums site, so I thought I would post my question here. I have a problem with FSC. Every time I connect to FSX, the map shows my plane out in the middle of the ocean. It was working fine first, so I registered and now I have this problem. I hope someone out there can help me.Thank You

I'm running FSX with Acceleration Pack on Windows 7 64 bit - my system is quick (12GB RAM, quad core, Radeon 5800 graphics card) and runs FSX pretty well. I had a lot of add ons from Aerosoft and bought PMDG MD-11 last week. All installed ok and asked me the usual security questions which I said yes to. When I load up the aircraft it loads with black display panels and there is no add on menu in the FSX menu bar. I received some support from PMDG which said how to get a clean config and XML file - I followed the instructions but it made no difference. I'm awaiting a reply on this as we speak.I also clean installed FSX with only the PMDG add on and still no add on menu or …

I only know the name from Battlefield :D, but I was just wondering if someone had an effect for the M18 smoke grenade used to tell if the LZ was hot or not (red&green) for the Huey pilots. I am a total failure when it comes to effects, mainly because well, I don't understand what half the words mean... Here's a picture of what I mean... http://www.vhpamuseum.org/weapons/images/Smoke%20Grenade.jpgI hope you guys can help me!Thanks a lot!

I use a combination of FSMetar and Pablo Diaz's clouds. The effect is very good with excellent cloud coverage etc. But, there is one niggling problem, That is the FS9 haze layer. It religously follows me wherever I go! As far as I know the only way to turn it off is to buy AS6. That's a lot of money for just that one advantage. So, is there anyway I can turn the FS9 haze layer off? Or, Can I get it to remain stationary?Vololiberista

does anyone know of some good airport vehicles that move around. or can someone make them for a particular airport or plane. the two vehicles i want are a stairs truck and the big food box that loads up all of the food for the flight. dont metion AES cause i've had it and i hate getting credits for certain airports. could anyone supply me with a link as to where i could download a stairs truck or airport vehicles in particular for fsx. i would really love to see them at Punta Cana Intl. especially with tropicalsim scenery. That would make things pretty real, all we need next is to generate people (passengers) walking out of the plane and onto the tarmac! now that would be…

Hello,I like flying MSFS 2004 and fsx with the military add ons. But it seems those are the hardest to model realistic. MSFS, after all those years, still isn't ment to fly with military aircraft. One very obvious thing is that a lot of them are to powerfull. They accellerate way to fast and the thing that bothers me the most is their capability to fly max speed (mach 2) at sea level! I've even read reviews that state it is fun to fly trough valley's at mach 2! Well, it might be fun but incredible unrealistic! A lot of the fastest fighters in real life can't fly faster then mach 1.2 at sea level. It is above 35000 ft that they can fly mach 2+.So to fly such planes realist…

Hello. Tigran Studios is a new development group based in Australia. We strive to make the highest quality addons we possibley can.We are starting to develop our first aircraft, a Saab 340 twin-turboprop airliner! This product will be fully functional and of extremley high quality. We are releasing a technology demonstrator aircraft first and this aircraft will be a Skyfox Gazelle two seat ultralight. The same plane I and other members of the team, fly in reality. We hope you enjoy our Gazelle and when released our Saab. We will do the best we possibley can on these aircraft and hope they are up to the great standards of developers such as PMDG. All going well I hope to s…

DreamTerminal Innovations is a new freeware Airport design group for FSX, which is currently being operated by myself personally. In the next few weeks I hope to get some volunteers who would like to begin designing airports. I am currently designing and testing features of an updated version of Halifax Intl. DreamTerminal Innovations will keep in mind that frame rates come first, everything is based on frame rates and if they are unsuitable for use on the system below. They will be placed in the upper level design for more powerful machines.Spare Laptop Frame Rate Tester: Minimum 18 FPS is a PassDual-Core 2.53 GHz Processor4GB RAM9800M GSThis will be also be tested wi…

Hello FSX and "It's Your Plane" Fans,I've been thinking about purchasing the traditional "six pack" Flight Line T and Navigational gauges from Reality XP (http://www.reality-xp.com/) to use within MS FSX and "It's Your Plane." I'm just wondering if installation of these gauges will cause any incompatibilities with IYP and Michelle's or Mike's ability to control them in the cockpit.Are there any considerations or known issues to keep in mind when running these two add-ons together? Any one out there have experience with Reality XP gauges and using them with IYP at the same time?Please jump in and share your thoughts!Thanks in advance for your help. :(

G'day all, Brand new back to flightsim's after a long time off. I cant believe how good Flightsim X is... well im impressed, im comparing it to FS2002. Ok, so im been zipping round in the defualt aeroplanes and am looking to buy an add on aeroplane. I am after a Harvard/Texan and was all set to buy alphasim's but then I stumbled on the Skyunlimited Texan, if any of you have either or both of these aeroplanes could you please let me know which one you prefer, or pro's and con's to them both. Does the Alphasim aeroplane still compare with aeroplanes from companys such as A2A? just thinking its a couple of years old, just wondering if its worth the money they ask. Th…

Hi,I am designing a texture make-over for FS9 (Realitypack series) but cannot remember the file name a particular texture which is bugging me. Does anyone now of a toolwhich displays the file names of textures (in FS or out) for a particular area? I vaguely recall seeing something like that a long time ago but have not been able to findit anymore!Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!Sascha

Hi there!I have installed the shockwave 3D lights for FS-2004, but this applies to FS-X users as well.These lights install only on default aircraft as there is no siple way to determine where the lights should go...but:inside the MDL file coordinates for the landing lights are stored somewhere (I design FS planes). If a program could read inside the MDL and find all the landing lights, it could then easily add them to aircraft.CFG. More options such as new beacon and strobe lights implementation will be easier as will involve only reading inside aircraft.cfg and replacing original effets... preferabily showing details on each aircraft but maybe able to batch process all a…

Hi,I was woundring how can I make a scenery model/effect appear dynamiclly while inflight (FSX) - Such as a smoke beacon/a driven car etc..Thanks in advance,Omer.

I am looking for an accurate airport diagram and charts for Chennai, India VOMM/MAA.I have searched high and low on the net and have come up with nothing. If anyone has them, would you please send me a copy or lead me to the place where I can obtain themThanks in advance.

Hi all!Does anyone know if there is a way to bypass the sound being from "exterior" whenever W&F is active?I would like the sound to remain as it is, being interior, at all times.Any help is appreciated!//Johan

I have been programming (non-professionally) for about 15 years using VB from the 3.0 days now using VS 2008 Professional. I was wanting to "dabble" in a few things to check out and see what I can do. Mainly around adding maybe a gauge for this and that.I was wondering if there is any hope or am I just getting "in over my head?"Any thoughts the pros have would be appreciated.John

Hey guys, I have some freeware scenery I really enjoy, one problem though is that the textures shimmering alot. No matter how much AA I add to FSX at this airport it still shimmers. Now, I contacted to developer awhile back (forget who it was) and he told me that I could use Image Tool and the FSX SDK to take these textures and make bip maps with them and then but them back into the proper folders and the shimmering would go away.I have zero experience with FSX SDK or Image Tool, and all I want to do is convert these textures so they stop shimmering. I've alos heard that Aerosoft has some products that shimmer and that they advise there customers to do this to get rid of …

Hello,On this screen shot you can see that there is a problem of textures "Flaps 30 and Spoilers out".Any Help pleaseThank you

Hi,In 2007 i wrote a tiny time sync program, but it had no GUI, so it was for my own uses only.Lately i felt like adding GUI to that program, which actually ended as rewriting that software (100 lines program -> 1800 lines program) and releasing that program as freeware. It can be seen as a freeware alternative to FS Real Time, although i never tried that software.Its coded in pure C (no bloated stuff like .NET) with FPS and efficiency in mind.I have tested it on my machine, which has XP SP2 and FS 2004 (9.1 update installed) and FSUIPC 3.90 but i want to know how it works on other setups and if possible, other simulators such as FS2002 and FS X.Please make sure you ha…

Hello, i want to request to all panel and gauges developers the following: I am searching for a long time for 2 addons i would like to have on my panel. A) An "TOWS" or "TOCWS" addon that advise to pilot the configuration for take off is not correct because they are not any point of flaps deployed. This advise may consist on a warning sound and a flashing switch with the text: TOWS or TOCWS in this switch. :( An "Low Fuel" addon, that advise to pilot that the fuel remaining on tankers is on reserve. This advise may consist on a warning sound and a flashing switch with the text: LOW FUEL in this switch. For the addon A, the only thing i found was on a PMDG payware aircraft…
